Ankh of Anubis Slot Features

As mentioned the gameplay is more mundane than the ancient-futuristic design indicates. Central to the gameplay are the Anubis Wilds. In the base game, the Anubis Wild feature can trigger randomly on any spin while the reels are still turning. A number of wilds in sizes 1×1, 1×2, 1×3 or 1×4 will be placed on random positions for the current round. Below a screenshot with all reels wild.

The said wild also plays a significant role in the bonus feature. Three, four or five pyramid scatters anywhere on the reels in one spin will trigger 10, 15 and 20 free spins respectively. The same scatter combinations landing on a free spin will award +3, +4 and +5 free spins, no limits. During the feature, Ankh cross symbols are collected in a counter. Accumulate five and Anubis Wilds will be added to random positions on the reels at the end of a free spin. It will then reset, allowing you to collect again sufficient for more Anubis Wilds to be awarded.

Final Verdict

Well, not really sure how to rate this Play’n GO creation. While expecting something exhilarating and intense that resembles the powers of the mighty Egyptian god, the result is a rather tame offering. Sure, they cranked up the game window to 576 ways and the win potential to 15,000 times the bet, but it can’t cover up the fact that the slot is rather simple with a random feature that will place wilds mostly in positions where they don’t connect and a free spins round with a few extra wilds intermittently sprinkled onto the reels.

A full screen of Anubis Wilds will pay 5,760x your bet, to get then to the maximum potential you would need that to happen at least once or twice within a free spins round. Any experienced player will know that getting this kind of hits are so rare that winning the lottery looks like a walk in the park.
